Here is something I thought of to continually motivate myself to lose weight.
The first motivator for me was to run a half marathon by June. (5k in April)
The second idea I had came while watching an awesome documentary I saw last night. If you're interesting in running a marathon, check out the movie, Spirit of the Marathon. One of the women running in this movie was running to raise money for an adoption placement agency. It got me thinking, I can do that.
The 180 Project has just taken a turn folks. I will be looking for sponsors not just to support me in my weight loss journey and my quest to run a half-marathon, but to sponsor me either in a dollar amount for each pound I lose by the end of June, and/or a dollar amount for every mile completed in the half marathon I will run in June (13.1 Miles). I've decided I will be running the Fairfield Half on June 27, 2010.
What will I be raising money for? This fall, the Destiny Choir from the Kampala Children's Centre in Kampala, Uganda came to our church to perform. The children, ages 8-18 earned a special place in Jenn and I's heart. I have since been looking into going there to volunteer.
The 180 Project is now, not just about me, but about losing so others may gain. Will you consider sponsoring me to lose weight? Let me know!

I'm in man. Put me down for $2 per mile.
ReplyDeleteOne of my personal goals for next year is to participate in a marathon relay. I'd run one of four legs for a total of 6.55 miles.
Maybe we'll find a way to work a little friendly wager in there to up the stakes.
Mmmmm. Steaks.....
Thanks Shane!
